Chapter 1220

Author: Ginger Sue
Alyssa was incensed after Victor brought up David. "Mr. Schdmit, do you know what I regret the most? I regret saving David's leg."

Hearing that, Victor looked shellstruck. He gritted his teeth as his expression sank.

"Alyssa Taylor, that's enough. Victor has always treated you like his daughter. How dare you speak to him in that manner?" Winston berated Alyssa.

He was very taken aback by Alyssa's odd behavior. Did she have too much to drink?

"Mr. Taylor, calm down," Jasper broke his silence.

He placed a hand on Alyssa's waist, drawing her into a comforting embrace. "Don't mistake her as being unreasonable. She has her reasons for saying so, and you'll know them soon enough."

All of Alyssa's heartache and disdain melted away when she looked up into Jasper's passionate eyes.

"Mr. Beckett, this is between the Taylors and the Schmidts. It's none of your business," Victor snapped at Jasper with a warning look. "What was that anyway? Did David offend you or something? Watch your tone

    The KS Group? The Taylors?After a brief shocked silence, the applause thundered across the hall as the spotlight shifted onto Winston, who looked surprised before putting on a relieved smile. He gracefully went up the stage to shake hands with Ezzo. "It's our honor to work with you."Since Ezzo chose the Taylors as his business partner, his demeanor underwent a significant shift, and he began heaping praises upon Winston. "You demonstrated your outstanding capability at the horseracing event. Besides, I promised to select the horseracing winner as my business partner. I'm keeping my word."No one except for the Jesseltons knew about the international call an hour ago between them and Justin Beckett, who resided in Mosgravia."Ezzo, Zeke, as a good friend of yours, I hope you'll take my advice and pick KS Group as your business partner," Justin suggested.At that time, Zeke was still reeling from Alyssa's rejection. Ezzo frowned and asked, "Why? Wouldn't you and your dad benefit

    At the mention of the good news, the guests cast looks of anticipation at Javier. A gleam flashed across his eyes as he turned to his son with a smile. "Jasper, come here."Jasper felt his heart sink. He frowned at Alyssa and tightened his grip on her hand, reluctant to part ways with her.She advised him, "Go. I'll be here waiting for you. I won't go anywhere."They exchanged tender glances before she freed her hand from his grip. With no valid reason to refuse, Jasper made his way to his father under the watchful gaze of the onlookers.In a rare occurrence, Javier flashed a warm smile at him and patted him on the shoulder. After that, Javier smiled and announced to the guests, "I will take advantage of the merry occasion to announce some good news in our family. "My son, Jasper Beckett, will be engaged to Zoe Harper, the granddaughter of Cornelius Harper. The engagement ceremony will take place in this month."The guests stared at him agape when they learned about Jasper and Z

    Ezzo blinked in surprise. "Gosh, that's some wonderful news! Congratulations to the both of you, Javier and Jasper.""Are you kidding me?" Jasper addressed Javier with clenched fists.Consumed by rage and panic, Jasper's eyes looked bloodshot. He acted like a beast who wanted to break free. "Everyone knows that I'm in love with Alyssa Taylor. Are you seriously asking me to marry Zoe Harper? "I have no idea what deal you struck with the Harpers under the table, but I'll make it clear now. Even if you threaten me with your life, I will never marry Zoe Harper!"The guests were astonished by Jasper's outburst. Even the Jesseltons, who had seen their fair share of conflicts, were taken aback by Jasper's overt confrontation.Zeke, who had never taken Jasper seriously, admired Jasper for his courage in speaking up against his father in front of the high society guests. He muttered under his breath, "That's some cool shit.""Oh, my God! What did Jasper just say? Did I mishear? That's so

    "Lyse, what are you doing?" Winston warned her."Dad, please trust Jasper," Alyssa pleaded in a coarse voice, her eyes shimmering in tears.As witty and calculative as she was, she couldn't stop herself from going up to Jasper.Winston felt sorry for his daughter and said sternly, "I never said I distrusted him. But he's at odds with Javier, and he's involved with the Harpers. If he's a man worth marrying, I would like to see how he'll resolve the situation."The situation grew extremely tense and awkward. Judging from Jasper's steely expression, he seemed reluctant to show any regard for the Harpers.Cornelius could not take it anymore. He pulled Zoe along to confront Jasper, "Jasper, you are free to love whoever you want, but how could you not offer an apology or an explanation six months after you slept with and dumped my granddaughter? What do you take her as?"Zoe started sobbing on cue. Cornelius continued with his stinging remarks. "Are we wrong for wanting you to take res

    Alyssa stared into Jasper's eyes through tears. They only had each other in their eyes.He treaded toward her as if he had scaled mountains and sailed oceans to reach her. Standing beside her was Winston.Jasper, caught in a surreal daze, appeared deeply moved. He felt as though he was welcoming his bride. The world around him faded into silence. All he could hear was his thunderous heartbeat. The scene seemed too perfect to be true."Jasper …" A tear rolled down her cheek like a meteor streaking across the night sky. Jasper was ready to sacrifice everything for her, and she felt the same toward him.Whether it was surviving the Luminara battlefield with Jasper or marrying him without their families' blessings, they had given their all for their love."Hold on a moment!" Zoe glared at them, her voice shrill and trembling. Her hopes were repeatedly crushed, and she couldn't bear it any longer.She thought, "Alyssa, Jasper, if you stubbornly wish to be together, perhaps I should un

    Landon gritted his teeth and clenched his jaw. Thankfully, Jonah held him back when he was about to barge into the hall.Jonah advised him, "Landon, calm down. You have nothing to worry about because my dad and Jasper are there to handle it. "Besides, you shouldn't appear like you're siding with outsiders at this critical point where you are about to be appointed the president of the Harper Group. You don't want to upset your grandpa. So, do not act rashly for the sake of your future."Landon's eyes burned in rage. "But Jasper is my bro! I can't sit back and watch my family fuck with Lyse! How could I betray Jasper just for a company president role? I'd be ashamed to face them in the future."Jonah was rendered speechless by Landon's seemingly uncultured outburst, but he shrugged it off because he empathized with Landon's feelings.Meanwhile, Jasper again shifted his hostile gaze onto Zoe, his eyes an abyss, ready to consume the evil woman.Zoe tried to maintain her composure un

    "Lyse, is this true?" Winston turned to stare at his daughter, who looked as pale as a sheet. Filled with pain and resentment, he tossed the paper at her. "Tell me, is everything on this paper true?"Alyssa almost lost her balance. She gripped her chest and slowly crouched as she stiffly picked up the paper. She clutched it tightly in her fingers."Lyse …" Jasper, looking blank, approached her. She admitted, "Yes, it's true."Winston felt the world collapse around him. Pain shot through his head as his vision blurred. Jonah and Landon were surprised by his intense reaction, especially Jonah, who had never seen his dad so angry in the 30 years of his life.Even when Winston learned about Alyssa's divorce, he was mostly angry at Jasper for his treatment of Alyssa. Never had he pinned the blame on Alyssa.Perplexed by Winston's seemingly unjustified rage at Alyssa, they watched as Winston marched up and dragged Alyssa out of the hall with him. "Let's go! You'll come home to Belbanks

    Alyssa was at a loss for words at that moment. Gasps filled the hall as the guests stared at her in disbelief. The talented daughter of the affluent Taylor family stood exposed as infertile. They couldn't imagine the life she led under the Beckett family and the extent of torture Jasper had inflicted on her.Despite her social status, her infertility was akin to a death sentence. Her infertility would weigh heavily on her, taking away the fundamental right to reproduce that every woman possessed. Landon's expression froze, momentarily paralyzed by the shock. Even then, he had to support Jonah, who was on the verge of collapse upon learning of Alyssa's infertility.As her brother, Jonah thought he was aware of all her secrets, but he was proven wrong. He chastised himself and his other brothers for failing to protect their sister.Now that Winston had turned against Jasper, Zoe shifted her attention to Javier. "Mr. Javier, your son has gravely hurt Alyssa. I think it's impossible

    Julien's merciless, hate-filled words hit Jonah like a ton of bricks. The pain was unbearable, a gut-wrenching ache that shattered his heart.Under the dim lighting, Julien vaguely noticed a sorrowful tear forming at the corner of Jonah's eye. But before it could fall, Jonah forced a blink, swallowing his emotions whole. Despite Jonah's attempt to brace himself, sorrow engulfed him, a tidal wave of despair. His features mirrored the devastation ripping through his heart. As Evan opened the driver's side door, Julien lurched forward and vomited again. The sickening sound of him retching echoed in the air as if he were expelling everything inside him. "Judas, Mr. Lovelace looks like he's suffering from alcohol poisoning. We should take him to the hospital."Evan's worry deepened at Julien's condition. Jonah wordlessly removed his suit jacket and began cleaning the mess in the car. His chest tightened painfully as he watched Julien groaning, clearly suffering. Then, without he

    Jonah's gaze burned with a mix of longing, sorrow, and something deeply affectionate. The world swam back into focus as Julien looked at Jonah. Without preamble, he asked, "Are you new? How much do you charge per night?"Light-headed and grinning, Julien reached out a hand, his fingers brushing softly against Jonah's cheek. "You're pretty good-looking," he said, his voice slurred. Then his expression shifted. "Why do you… look so much like someone I hate with every fiber of my being?"Jonah's heart clenched. Even so, he slid his arms around Julien's waist. Trembling, he pulled Julien into his arms. "I'm new here. Could you help me meet my target tonight, Mr. Lovelace?"Julien's eyes narrowed as he scrutinized Jonah. Jonah's eyes teared up as he held Julien's waist tightly. "I promise you won't be disappointed," he said, his voice deep. Watching from the shadows below the stage, Evan nearly gagged at Jonah's sultry tone. Was this really the Judas he knew? The man sounded downri

    The bar was alive with striking lights and thundering music, and the air was thick with the scent of tobacco and alcohol. The atmosphere was one of moral decay—corrupt, degrading, and vile. "Where's Julien?" Jonah's voice cut through the noise, his tone icy and sharp. When Jonah stepped inside, the eyes of several men turned toward him, their gazes filled with illicit intent."Why, hello there. Are you here alone? Are you feeling lonely?" A sexy man sauntered over, draping himself over Jonah's shoulders. He let his hands linger with a playful squeeze. "If you're bored, I'd be happy to keep you company." Jonah's expression darkened. His hands trembled, veins bulging with barely contained rage. Suddenly, Evan burst through the crowd, his face twisting in alarm at the sight of Jonah surrounded by a swarm of predatory men. Evan yelled, "Don't touch him!" A heavy thump reverberated through the room. Gasps erupted as people scrambled back.The man who had draped himself over

    Rafe stated, "But Beckett Group is in the middle of a storm right now. If I insisted on giving your corporation the project, my superiors would investigate me. I wouldn't be able to escape unscathed!""If you're investigated, I'll make sure you can still live a life of luxury—even if you lose your job." Justin's tone darkened. "But if you turn against me, you won't just suffer a few losses. You'll lose everything."Under the dim moonlight, Justin fiddled with his antique tea cup, his gaze narrowing. "You've worked so hard to get to where you are. Are you prepared to lose it all?"After ending the call, Justin turned to Remy, who stood quietly at the side. "Sheryl is still being detained. She can't be bailed out for another two days. I need someone to watch over the research lab. You'll handle that."Remy was taken aback. "I failed my last mission. Aren't you going to punish me?"Justin's smile was cold and insincere. "It wasn't your fault. You were ambushed. If not for that, I tru

    Remy pursed his lips, bending down to pick up the fallen poker card. It was the King of Spades—an entry pass to Kings' Club. "My attacker was…" Remy's pupils constricted as he tightened his grip on the card. "It can only be that dear uncle of mine, always claiming to see me as his own son." Justin's lips curled into a sinister smile. "He's trying to get rid of my right-hand man, taking advantage of my internal feud with Jasper. Weakening me is just his first step toward gaining control over me."He's been a fugitive ever since his successful prison break, never returning to Cyrris after receiving his life sentence. His power base remains in Kontina. "I'm the last surviving Dutton. The Dutton Group, as a cover, has declared bankruptcy and severed all ties with the country. "My dear uncle has taken a huge risk just to target me. He sent his men to attack you in Solana City. What a delightful surprise. It seems he truly doesn't trust me, his only remaining family."Remy lowere

    The hospital ward grew heavy with silence. Mandy and Neil stared at Alyssa, stunned beyond words. "M-Ms. Alyssa, you knew that man was Mr. Damien?" Neil asked, disbelief etched into his voice. "Yes." Alyssa's reply was quiet, her lips pressed into a thin line. She lowered her gaze, her voice barely above a whisper. "We found out when Cyrus took Damien's cigarette butt for a paternity test."Mandy approached Alyssa, her shoulders trembling slightly. "So, you and Cyrus knew… and you both kept it from me?" Mandy said, her voice catching in her throat, tears welling up. Alyssa felt a sharp pang in her chest. "Mandy, I'm sorry. It was my decision. Cyrus had nothing to do with it."Mandy's tears fell freely now, her grief spilling out in raw sobs. "Do you know what it's been like for me all these years, thinking Damien was gone? Winston, Miley, Lyla, and Colene kept telling me to move on. I tried to accept that he was dead, that we'd never find his body. But I never did."Her vo

    The hospital ward was bathed in a dim, yellow glow from the bedside lamp. The silence was thick, yet the room held a strange warmth—an unfamiliar comfort that felt oddly familiar to Remy.Pain radiated through his body as he struggled to sit up. His eyes fell on Mandy, who was asleep beside his bed. Her hair was a mess, and her swollen eyes suggested she'd been crying. She was sound asleep. Remy stiffened. His breath quickened as he stared at her fragile figure. Slowly, he leaned forward, his fingers lifting slightly, tempted to reach out.Just as his hand hovered close, Mandy's lashes fluttered. In her sleep, she murmured, "Damien… Damien… I miss you so much…" Tears slipped down her cheeks, silent and unbidden.A pang tugged at Remy's heart. Without thinking, he brushed away her tears with his calloused fingers. The moment his skin touched hers, a jolt shot through him, sharp and electrifying. Pain throbbed at his temples, but beneath it was a warmth he didn't want to let g

    Justin's casual question hit Javier like a thunderclap. Shock rippled through him, freezing his expression. His voice trembled with fear as he barked, "What nonsense is that? Are you accusing me of causing Chester's death? I'm your father—how could you think I'd do such a thing?""It's not an accusation. Just the facts," Justin replied coolly, crossing his legs and savoring his tea with unsettling calm. "And I'm not condemning you. In fact, I understand why you did it. I'm facing the same dilemma now."Javier's breathing grew ragged. He had watched Justin grow from a child into the man before him—now a predator, circling with quiet menace."You were meant to be the heir as the eldest son," Justin continued, his voice smooth as silk. "But Grandpa favored Uncle Chester, handing him major projects, grooming him in plain sight. "Uncle Chester's reputation soon eclipsed yours. He was a natural leader, adept at business, with one fatal flaw—he was kind. Too kind. Unlike you."Justin

    Nonetheless, night had fallen by the time Justin arrived at Seaview Manor. On his way there, he worked on two things. First, he secured the top legal team to get Sheryl out on bail as quickly as possible. Second, he tried reaching Remy—unsuccessfully. He had never lost contact with Remy before. Justin's face was as dark as the night itself. The moment he stepped inside Seaview Manor, Rory approached with a solemn expression. He gave a slight bow before speaking. "Mr. Justin, what took you so long? Mr. Javier has been waiting.""I was occupied," Justin replied coolly. Then, as if it were an ordinary evening, he allowed a faint smile. "Where's Jasper? Is he back here yet?" A conflicted look came across Rory's face. "Things between you and Mr. Jasper have soured. I doubt he'll want to see you anytime soon—or show up here.""Is that so? How disappointing."Justin's smile didn't reach his eyes. His gaze lingered on Rory, sharp and bottomless. "So, he'd rather believe what he se
